I really enjoyed this. I wasn't sure what to expect with this story, but man, you hit the nail on the head. I like the idea of the manipulative portraits-must get awful boring hanging on the wall all day. I really enjoyed that Ron knew about what magical portraits could and couldn't do-it would be common knowledge growing up in a wizarding household.

I also liked that Hermione can start panicking again later even though she's happy right now. Age Restriction Line was a great move too.

i love how the hufflepuffs are constantly getting made fun of. "What do you take me for, a Hufflepuff?"

Hi ! I just finished your fic and I really enjoyed it. Maybe a little long at the beginning, but that's not really a problem, as your idea was very original (as far as I'm concerned I've never read anything about evil paintings) and needed to be introduced. It's nice to see Hermione acting like a girl... And actually acting anything but careful, not ever wondering why Dumbledore put an end at this love spells business ! Even Hermione isn't herself when she's in love...

Like everyone I suppose, I particularly liked the last chapter ;-)

And about Ron and girls... It's really a strange behavior, but you're right, it happens, so, why not ? And Ron always had strange reactions anyway _
